You are correct that through history a lot of great people have not finished school and went on to accomplish many things. However the climate in which we live in no longer affords the luxury of promotion through job ranks. You do need an education and you need more than a high school education. Children need to taught the importance of education and that they are indeed responsible for their actions. Unfortunately many children don’t hear this at home. I think that it is wonderful that the President does care about the youth of our nation and yes I am a republican.
